Here's my own small tribute to the veterans of Pearl Harbor. You'll see a
National Archives picture taken of an OS2U-1 Kingfisher assigned to USS
Arizona before Pearl Harbor. It shows the ship retrieving the aircraft on 6
Sept 1941, and I've also posted some companion shots taken at the same time.
The date sheet in pdf shows my research identifying the pilot (who died
Dec. 7th) and the gunner (who survived). Finally, there are some photos I
did of the scale model in 1/48th, about 50% of which is the old Monogram kit
from the 1960s. The rest is a sophisticated series of updates of the
cowling, cockpits and floats from Meteor Productions' Cutting Edge Resins.
Hope you enjoy the history, and the tribute.

Brian O'Neill
